R33 Gtst Diff For R32 Gtst

I've got an RB25det in my R32 gtst

everything from the flywheel back is standard R32 GTST stuff.

I was wondering if I can use the R33 GTST diff to get the taller 4.1:1 ratio.

Can I just swap out the whole diff?

or do you need to swap out the internals?

does it require a change to tailshaft or drive shafts?

what is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks

Housings are different - front mounts have bushes in R33, no bushes in R32. Rear cover is different. Tailshaft and driveshaft connections are same (normal Nissan 5 bolt).

ABS sensors can vary a lot. Either there, or not there.

I took the CW&P from an R34 diff, put it onto an S15 centre into R32 housing with S14 driveshafts (to match the 3x2 bolt S15 output shafts). These things are fairly interchangeable in the R200 stuff.

Oh, that's not to say that you can't do it semi-easy. The weak wristed way to do it would be to get the R33 housing, change the rear cover to the R32 type and fit it to the R32 using bushes in the front mount points. But the nice thing about the R32s is there are no bushes there, so.....take that as you will.

But you certainly won't swap it in without at least changing the rear cover.

The rest of my post was showing that you can mix'n'match to achieve pretty much any goal.

After I put a RB25DET from a Stagea into my R32 GTS4, I found I needed different gearing. I simply had the CW & P from a Stagea rear diff transferred onto the centre of the GTS4 rear diff (not what I actually meant to ask for, but a better result all round).

(transferred the whole front diff assembly to keep matched ratios)

I done pretty much the same conversion but using an s14 diff. You need to use your old 4 bolt back cover and use r33 /s14 front mount bolts or buy longer bolts for the front mounts as the non bush types are an inch shorter. Other than that it's pretty simple just got to know if you need to get an abs one or not as GTSboy said

with the abs vs non abs situation, you should be able to swap over the component flange (pinion flange) between the diffs to suit your car.

as in, abs car installing a non abs diff, swap in your abs flange with the abs ring (with care taken to marking and torquing the flange and nut back to where it was previously to keep the same pinion preload) ?

you would need to fabricate a bracket for the abs sensor, and make some sort of dust cover for the pinion oil seal, but it sounds like it would work.

in fact I was hoping to do this myself in the coming weeks. can anybody confirm this?

ps sorry for the hijack

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
